poor valveWe have had this faucet for about 5 years. The past three it has been difficult to turn off (have to find the sweet spot) and nearly impossible to get anywhere between hot and cold. I replaced the inner valve once, but that did not last long. And the valves are expensive!

Great FaucetThis faucet has been installed for a few weeks. I love it and would recommend it. The magnetic sprayer is great. Always locks in place without any effort.

Great (almost)The fit and finish of this faucet is excellent. The finish matched the stainless steel sink to the point that you would assume they came from the same manufacturer. The soap dispenser has functioned very well, but is typically guess work in re-filling as you can't see level of soap until it is over filled (not enough room left for pump tubing).
Installation was extremely easy compared to faucet that this replaced. The added length of supply inlet hoses made it much easier connecting as our sink is a corner placement.
Only deficiency was the unit would not totally shut off. Delta has extremely nice support, explaining how to obtain model number. A new mixing / on-off cartridge was shipped. The unit did take 6 days to arrive via USPS. I only point his out as if you have an emergency type problem don't think you'll you will receive the repair parts rapidly.
The instructions for repair were easy to follow and it only took 10 minutes.
Delta is extremely easy to deal with and provides fast access to English speaking support personnel. More American companies should model themselves after Delta.

we love this faucetWe brought this as a replacement for our old outdated faucet. This is high quality with exceptional features. Although the cost is more than other faucets we compared, you just can not get a better built or one with better warranty. We have purchased many Delta products for our home and we have never been disappointed in the durability, style, quality or warranty.

Delta Leland one hole mountReplaced kitchen faucet of another brand that had very little water dispensing pressure with Delta Leland stainless steel one handle. Faucet was very easy to install, just follow very easy to understand instructions and completed in less than 30 min. including removing the old one. Significant water pressure improvement, looks great and has a much better angle of dispensing water in to the sink. I highly recommend this faucet!!!!

Had this faucet installed recently &amp; really like the design and the features. One question -- can the sprayer head/aerator be removed, as on a traditional faucet, to reveal the threaded end of the spout? Need to change fishies water.

Asked by: Fishmom

Hello Fishmom,
Thank you for your question. Yes, the aerator in the end of the wand/sprayer assembly of the Delta Leland Kitchen Pull-Down 19978-SSSD-DST faucet can be removed by using the wrench (RP50815), that comes with the faucet.

I have the Delta 19978- DST and remodeling to a granite counter undercount sink.

I want to remove the escutcheon plate and just install the faucet directly to the granite. Do I need to purchase an o ring or anything to make the faucet stable if not using that plate?

Asked by: Tami

Hi Tami, Thank you for your question. The model 19978-SSSD-DST would have come with a single hole and a 3 hole escutcheon. If you are no longer going to use the 3 hole escutcheon/plate you will need the single hole escutcheon RP52610SS . Here is a link to the parts diagram for your faucet.

I Need A Part

My new faucet has three holes in the escutcheon plate but I only need the center and left ones for the faucet and soap dispenser respectively. I need a plug or cap to put over the hole on the right, which is open all the way down into the cabinet below the sink.
I didn't see any references in my user guide nor did I when looking at your online inventory. Can you please help me find a solution ?
Thanks !
Brad

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet does not manufacture hole covers for your faucet. They may be purchased and ordered at your local wholesaler or retailer.

Material of soap dispenser

Can you tell me if the soap dispenser that comes with the faucet is made out of a metal or a plastic? I'm only concerned with the part that shows above the counter.

Asked by: chh

Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # 19978-SSSD-DST has a soap dispenser that is non-metallic.

Material of pull-down hose?

Is the outside of the covering of the pull-down hose braided stainless steel, or nylon or something else? Is the pull-down hose part of the Life-time Warranty? If not Stainless Steel, which Delta products have the stainless steel braided hose?

Asked by: Numberkruncher

Hi Numberkruncher, Thank you for your question. The RP50390 hose for the model 19978-SSSD-DST faucet is made of braided polymer over an Ultracore liner. The hose is covered as part of our warranty. We do not currently offer any faucets with stainless steel braided hoses.
Thanks,
Dave

Can the handle be mounted on the left?

Asked by: Fgus

Hi, Fgus!
Thank you for your question. The 19978-SSSD-DST can be mounted with the handle on the left. However, keep in mind that the handle operation will be opposite.
